Two new clips from Big Fan, the drama starring comedian Patton Oswalt that premiered earlier in the year at Sundance, have been released online. Kevin Corrigan, Michael Rapaport, Marcia Jean Kurtz, Gino Cafarelli, Matt Servitto and Polly Humphreys also star in the film, which opens in limited release August 28. The directorial debut of Robert D. Siegel, screenwriter of Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler, Big Fan centers on a hardcore New York Giants football fan (Oswalt) who struggles to deal with the consequences when he is beaten up by his favorite player.

“Big Fan” is like “The Wrestler”, only it’s about football and Patton Oswalt isn’t Mickey Rourke. Other than that, they should probably have called this movie “The Wrestler 2: The Football Fan Guy”, because it has the exact same tone and vibe as that other film, which writer/director Robert D. Siegel also wrote. With “Big Fan”, Siegel is making his directorial debut, and oh boy is it a doozy. This movie will either depress the hell out of you or make you glad you kinda like football, but not that much. But hey, there is a bright side to all this: if it had been Plaxico Burrows, Oswalt’s character might have gotten shot instead of just beaten up.
